Chapter 942: Are You Scared?
Li Fei’er and the others were all stunned, not knowing what Yu Linglong was talking about.
Ling Feng gave a wry smile, took out his phone, and found the pictures and videos he had just taken: "Take a look for yourself, she’s convinced that this statue is me, how is that possible?"
Li Fei’er and Li Yun’er huddled together, and Sasha also curiously squeezed in, her little head wedged between the two, looking intently.
Moments later, the three girls lifted their heads together, their eyes full of shock: "Isn’t that just you?"
"Uhm..."
Ling Feng was also helpless, scratching his head as he said with a bitter smile, "Do you guys think that’s possible?"
"Why wouldn’t it be possible? The statue’s expression, hairstyle, and even its clothes resemble you!" Li Fei’er said.
Ling Feng looked at her: "But don’t forget, the history here dates back thousands of years, how would the ancient people know about me?"
"Are there still things in this world that you can’t believe?" Li Fei’er asked, giving him a sidelong glance.
It must be said, this question was very effective, leaving Ling Feng speechless.
So all he could do was ask: "Even if it is me, what does that signify? Does it mean I’m so handsome and suave that I’m a rarity throughout the ages?"
"Conceited!"
Li Fei’er gave him a glance: "There are many men handsomer than you!"
"Exactly, so even if it really is a statue of me, that doesn’t seem to explain anything, right?" Ling Feng shrugged.
"There must be a reason for it!" Yu Linglong said lightly.
Ling Feng smiled: "Trying to figure out that reason would probably make our heads explode, so let’s not worry about it for now. Let’s rest and continue searching, there’s bound to be a larger complex of buildings or something ahead!"
"I don’t want to go anymore, I want to go up there and enjoy the view. How about letting Wang Cai and Yellow scout ahead?" Li Fei’er said.
"Alright, I also want to have a look up there. The higher you stand, the farther you see—maybe we’ll discover something!" Ling Feng looked up at the highest point of the pyramid.
Therefore, Li Fei’er sent Wang Cai and Yellow to scout ahead, and then Yu Linglong, carrying Li Yun’er, and Ling Feng, holding Li Fei’er and Sasha, the five of them hopped up the high stone stairs of the pyramid together.
Moments later, they reached the summit, which indeed was the highest point around.
They turned their heads to look in every direction, and everywhere they could only see unending stretches of dense forest!
Ling Feng looked around and was momentarily at a loss for words.
It seems he was mistaken; this place had only this pyramid and no other buildings.
So he said with a wry smile, "It’s getting boring; we didn’t find anything valuable at all. What’s the use of just a huge forest?"
"It provides a lot of timber!"
Li Fei’er said with a laugh, a bit mischievously.
Ling Feng smiled wryly: "But wood is what I need the least!"
Not to mention the forests of First Layer of Heaven and Second Layer Heaven, now Wang Wan’er can grow timber on her own. The material of Jin Gang wood is better than any other wood; why would he care for anything else?
"We haven’t figured out yet why the animals here are all so large!" Yu Linglong reminded.
Ling Feng nodded: "You’re right, but this place is too vast, I don’t want to waste too much time. I believe the map in the disc has been unlocked, if there’s nothing else, let’s go back first! We can come back to investigate later."
"Okay, I have no objections!" Yu Linglong nodded.
Ling Feng glanced at her, surprised that she agreed so readily.
Perhaps her curiosity had already been satisfied?
So while waiting for Wang Cai and Yellow to return, everyone sat on the top of the pyramid to enjoy the scenery, watching the sun slowly move westward as night was about to fall.
The jungle scenery at this time was very beautiful; the afterglow of the sun dyed the land golden, then gradually turned red, looking very beautiful.
Li Fei’er and her sisters whipped out their phones and eagerly snapped photos, and even Ling Feng couldn’t help but take a few more, planning to show them to Li Shiyun and the others when he got back.
At this point, Yu Linglong said, "You now have six out of the Nine Heavens, plus that island, the underwater ruins, and this place, making nine locations in total!"
"Yeah, it’s just too bad I don’t know how to develop them, and it seems like whether I do or don’t isn’t really significant anymore!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Exclusive domains that many dream of having, and you find them meaningless?"
Yu Linglong sighed, "In our world, if you said something like that, you would likely get beaten up!"
"Hehe, I’m just saying, you know. Being humble is something I do understand."
Ling Feng smiled, then suddenly remembered something, "Right, what exactly is your world like?"
"Why the sudden interest in this?"
Yu Linglong turned her head and looked at him, her gaze tender.
"Just out of curiosity. I have no plans to go there anytime soon, so don’t overthink it!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"I won’t overthink it. If you went there, you definitely wouldn’t be as arrogant as you are now!"
Yu Linglong dropped this comment and then said, "Our world is still in an agrarian society; we don’t have the advanced technology that your side has."
"Oh, so it’s a feudal society, then? There must be emperors and the like, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes!"
Yu Linglong nodded, "Just taking our country as an example, from emperors to ministers, the structure of the ruling class is actually quite similar to your feudal societies."
"Oh, so what’s not similar?" asked Ling Feng.
"Our world is rich in Spiritual Energy, so there’s a huge number of Cultivators. For every hundred people, there’s at least one child born with Dark Energy."
Ling Feng was taken aback, "How many people are there in your country?"
Yu Linglong fell into thought, "Around a hundred million, I guess?"
"Whoa!"
Ling Feng’s eyes went wide at once. By that ratio, just in her country alone, the number of Cultivators with Dark Energy and above ready for combat was one million!
And that was just a preliminary statistic; in reality, those born with Dark Energy would have likely advanced to Hua Energy or even higher by adulthood!
In other words, over on their side, it would be a piece of cake to mobilize tens of thousands of cultivators at Qi Force or Refining Qi levels.
But what about Earth?
The Huaxia country that Ling Feng knew had no more than a thousand Cultivators!
Those who had broken through the Refining Qi stage were even scarcer, numbering only five or six.
The disparity was too large; if there were a fight, they could only be trampled by the other side!
Even though Ling Feng knew he was strong, he also understood the principle that even ants can bite an elephant to death.
Let’s not even talk about tens of thousands; just a few hundred Refining Qi experts attacking him at once would be quite the trouble!
"What, scared?"
Seeing Ling Feng’s flickering gaze, Yu Linglong asked meaningfully.
"Who said that!"
Ling Feng glared, "I’m just surprised, that’s all. Afraid? Not at all!"
"Oh."
Yu Linglong made no comment and simply nodded.
Ling Feng looked at her, "We’re so familiar now; can you tell me what your identity is over there?"
